  • Output once per sheet: Option relates to Imposition (also known as N-Up) printing. Select this box to have the Text printed once per sheet rather than once per document page.

  • If Imposition options such as auto-positioning and scaling were selected, these options won't apply to the Additional Content added to the physical N-Up sheet.
